Whilst serving in the war in the 65th Search Light Regiment in Norfolk, I had a call out for an emergency, my attention was drawn to a german plane - (we found out later it had been to Liverpool) approximately 80,000 feet up, I had to shout 'Target' as loud as I could, I was hawking my attention all the time, whilst the plane was twisting and turning, but I managed to keep it in focus, and lit the plane up.
Everything around was pitch black.
I had to should 'Douse' to turn the light off
and 'Expose' to turn the light on. I was No. 4 in the unit.
The plane eventually crashed.
I was visited by some higher up officials
who congratulated me on my action. Recommendations were given for my service.
During this time, the only thing that I could think of was my responsibility to help to save
lives. When I look back I feel very proud of my actions.
